I found some new inspiration while checking out Pinterest and decided to give it a try. It's using my Gelatos (by Faber-Castell) again but over top of modelling paste (which I've never used before) and die cut shapes, to add some texture. There's also some stamps in there, gesso and even melted crayons! :-) I like how it turned out and need to follow its advice… Be Happy!
Hi. I had a very busy couple of weeks, which is why I haven't posted anything for a while. I found some new inspiration while checking out Pinterest and decided to give it a try. It's using my Gelatos (by Faber-Castell) again but over top of modelling paste (which I've never used before) and die cut shapes, to add some texture. There's also some stamps in there, gesso and even melted crayons! :-) I like how it turned out and need to follow its advice… Be Happy!

I've been seeing a lot of people using the Faber-Castell Gelatos pens lately and I wanted to try them. They are really fun to work with. In case you haven't heard of them, they are a creamy stick that sort of resembles using lipstick. LOL You can use them with or without water and sometimes look like watercolours.
This is a journal page I did today and the background is done using them. You put Gesso on the pages first and the Gelatos blend very easily. I also added some stamps and stencilling in the background for texture, applied some rub on text and a couple butterflies with rhinestones. Lots of fun! :-) The only thing I will do a bit differently next time is when applying the Gesso, I may try using a spatula. When I used a brush, it left so many lines, that it looks like scratches in the Gelatos background. I'm sure that might be ok if you want the texture but I think I might like it smooth, with some raised areas. I suppose it would depend on what you're wanting to end up with. If you want to give it a try, I highly recommend it. Check out YouTube for a bunch of tutorials, too. :-) |
